		<description><![CDATA[This Nation must used its biggest strength - ICT/IT to reduced the National Deficit.  The Question is How? 
 
With the approval of Presiden&#039;st ObamaCare Law by the US Supreme Court,  this Healthcare Reform Law is THE LAW OF THE LAND, like or not. 
 
This adds more patients to the National healthcare services.   Now, if we implement  HIT properly, we can improved healthcare outcomes, and have a Costs Savings of around 20-30% of National Annual, Healthcare Expenditures.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am mostly switched over to EMR, just need to do the doctor part soon. I can hardly wait to see what it will be like to use my lap-top in the exam room with an autistic child. It is sufficiently challenging to get some notes scribbled in charts. Then there is the multi-thousand dollar investments doctors were forced to make. The trickle back reward for using the system makes only a small dent in the debt many doctors incurred to be &quot;compliant.&quot; Government should follow the dictum given to doctors: First, do no harm. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My doctor says he spends 20% of his time filling out Federal forms such as those for Medicare.  Since he spends as much time as necessary with patients - he is never in a hurry - he is the only doctor I know who is in the office every Sunday afternoon, you guessed it, filling out paperwork on the computer. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ontario, Canada (o surprise!) also wanted to computerize their medical files -- it cost the government a billion dollars. And are the records now computerized? Of course not! It was just another scam to enrich the govt cronies. (And one of the individual&#039;s involved in the billion dollar fiasco, left Ontario and was hired in Alberta. He has been involved in bilking taxpayers to the tune of over 300,000 dollars in yet another health care scam, in which he was claiming &quot;expenses.&quot; And when he was let go by Alberta, he received a mega thousand dollar &quot;severance package.&quot; Oh, and Allaudin Merali defends himself by claiming he should have/could have claimed even more on his &quot;expense&quot; account (that included, btw, butler service). ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No, this is not a good thing. The doctor is now not facing the patient but has their back or their side to the patient because they seated at a monitor typing in information. So much for bedside manner. Interestingly, I wonder if young doctors even know how awful this seems to patients who remember the way it used to be. Welcome to the brave new world. I won&#039;t call it Kafkaesque because Kafka could never have imagined anything this bizarre. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a practioner who has used an EMR for the past 2 years I have come to appreciate it more and more. I like to say that the EMR is greatest when the patient is not there because I have access to so much information anywhere there is a computer and Internet access. 
It is a new way for doctors to record patient information and way overdue for us to finally get into the 21st century. It most assuredly does detract from the doctor patient encounter but I think overtime it is much preferable to illegible scribbled notes that convey no useful information. 
The ability to rapidly find important clinically relevant patient information actually streamlines care and reduces errors. There is always a learning curve whenever electronic systems are introduced to a work place. However, it has been my experience that computers make ordinary things extra ordinary. 
Should the federal government be intamitly involved with this process? I don&#039;t think that this is the role of the federal government other than to not stand in the way of the private sector carrying out this change. In fact, our practice converted long before any mandates from Obama. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;&quot;Like most of President Obama&#8217;s health care rules, this top-down electronic record-sharing scheme is a big fat bust.&quot;&lt;/i&gt; 
 
It&#039;s not a bust for socialism. Because anytime they can hire people to complicate things, and then those complicators hire more people to shuffle papers, they&#039;ve won.  ]]></description>

However, when the mood suits &quot;The Administration&quot;  our invasive personal health information can certainly  be used to control our end health outcome.......say, like, IF we happen to be a non-union, pro-life, pro NRA Republican.

		<description><![CDATA[In many cases, electronic medical records are a disaster - you can find situations where doctors are the ones typing up the information and clicking on the screens.  This *adds* to their workload and *increases* costs.  In busy practices the doctors have to scribble their own notes on pieces of paper and then late at night try to type them up.  There isn&#039;t enough time to see patients and simultaneously navigate data entry work.  A cash-strapped hospital won&#039;t hire data entry workers and union rules interfere with giving the work to many of their personnel, so they force the doctors to be data entry clerks.   
 
More specifically, electronic medical records are terrible for: (i) busy practices, because there is no time for doctors to navigate the system with a crushing workload of patients and (ii) generalist practices, because you can&#039;t rely on a limited template on a screen to enter info (e.g., a dematologist can enter information on the skin information screen and just keep it open, a general practitioner has to click all over the place to enter information because they review a wide range of maladies).  And if you are a generalist who is also busy . . . good luck with that . . .  ]]></description>
